Watch: CNA Leadership Summit - Trust Matters
Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong will deliver the opening keynote address at the CNA Leadership Summit 2023.
SINGAPORE: Minister for Culture, Community and Youth and Second Minister for Law Edwin Tong delivered the opening keynote address at the CNA Leadership Summit 2023 on Thursday (Jul 27), emphasising that Singapore cannot allow doubt and erosion of public trust in institutions to take root.
He noted that public trust levels have been on the decline around the world, nothing that the rise of social media that has accentuated a “post-truth” environment seen today.
Mr Tong outlined initiatives such as Forward Singapore - to engage people to craft the future of Singapore. He also spoke about the importance of building a culture of care and inclusion.
The event, held at the Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, was streamed live on CNA's YouTube channel and LinkedIn page.
This year's theme is Trust Matters. As the world emerges from the global pandemic and faces new geo-political challenges, it is increasingly clear that trust is the most important currency for governments, institutions and businesses. The CNA Leadership Summit brings together leaders from the public and private sector, as well as civil society and newsmakers, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of building trust in the 21st century.
The leadership summit had two panel discussions titled "Doing Right Starts at the Boardroom" and "Building Trust with Your Customers".
They included the following speakers:
Ms Lee Hui Li, managing director, Microsoft Singapore
Mr Nicholas Lee, CEO, EZ-Link
Ms Pearlyn Phau, Group CEO, Singlife
Mr Tony Soh, CEO, National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre
Mr Paul Burton, general manager, IBM Asia Pacific
Mr Christopher Ong, managing director, DHL Express Singapore
